Read the full reviewTamil cinema audiences love mass hero films, which may not have logic or reason but just have the essential masala items.
Read the full reviewAfter a lacklustre Thalaiva, Vijay has bounced back in style in Jilla, ably backed by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal.
Read the full reviewComedy, action, sentiment, emotion… you name it, the story has it. ‘Jilla’ keeps you entertained all through its long run time.
At two hours and fifty minutes, Jilla is lengthy and the editor and director should have collaborated better to reduce it to make it tauter.
Read the full reviewIt looks like Vijay has realized that he can be in mass masala films that are not only entertaining to his fan base but also to every segment in the audience.
Read the full reviewThere is absolutely nothing in Jilla that we havent seen before. Besides the film is almost 3 hours long and this certainly does not work in its favour.

Jilla audience rating and reviews
How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
